| Imported post Just in case anyone misses the listing Journeys to the Bottom of the Sea - D-Day: the Untold Story. The story of the so-called "DD" tanks - US Sherman tanks fitted with flotation screens, which were meant to provide protection for the troops coming ashore on Omaha beach. Apparently the plan went dreadfully wrong: 27 of the 29 tanks promptly sank and some 2,400 infantrymen were slaughtered. Nautical archaeologists use state of the art cameras and imaging technology to scour the seabed off Omaha beach for the wrecks of the DD tanks. Though they are not designated as official wargraves, the underwater team was careful not to disturb what lies within these most poignant of "monuments". |
